Mucky Weather

The self-loading bulk carrier Yeoman Bank came up the Sound of Mull this morning in mucky weather. She had loaded aggregate at Glensanda quarry for Leith.

just to let you know, this ship is a self discharger, with its on board conveyer system, it is unable to self load.

About Kilchoan

Kilchoan is a remote Scottish crofting village at the westernmost end of the Ardnamurchan peninsula, a two-hour drive to the west of Fort William. Its white houses are strung like pearls around a wide bay, looking out across the Sound of Mull to Tobermory. The year-round population of the village itself is just over a hundred, but this diary writes about all the villages of western Ardnamurchan, including Portuairk, Sanna, Achosnich, Achnaha and Kilmory.
